Corroborating previous reports, Robert Scoble tweeted earlier that Apple’s upcoming iOS 5 update will feature deep, deep Twitter integration. News of joint Apple/Twitter cooperation first surfaced earlier this week with a TechCrunch report that iOS 5 will enable users to share images directly to Twitter much like how video footage can immediately be uploaded to YouTube. Following that, John Gruber intimated that Apple’s Twitter integration was a lot more extensive than mere photo sharing, coyly writing “So close to the bigger story, but yet so far. Imagine what else the system could provide if your Twitter account was a system-level service.”

Since then, Scoble has answered a few questions via Twitter about, well, Twitter and iOS 5.
